Yesterday evening I visited photographer Susan Friedman to do a night photography demonstration for her students. I also got to peruse Susan’s beautiful new equine photography book Drinkers of the Wind, and check out some mesmerizing horse footage shot with the Phantom and Red cameras at 600-800 frames per second.
Susan’s students from U.C. Santa Cruz were an enthusiastic group, and we experimented with light painting ghost photos using a mix of flashlight, flash, and fireworks. During the last 2 photos in the gallery below, sparklers were attached to a tetherball. Thanks to everyone who attended for a really fun night!
Very cool, Joe! Looks like you had a blast.
These are really great
Nice experimentation, Joe.
These look great, Joe.
Thanks, y’all. We had a lot of fun!
Nice photos Joe. The second one has me spooked!
Hell yeah, these are great. That second to last one almost looks like a lotus flower.
I love the first one…the blues are amazing, and the ghost sprung from the ground?
Nice touch.
Thanks, fellas!
